WHY BOOK A TRIP TO DENMARK
Style. Elegance. Excellence. All words that fit as neatly into Copenhagen as cinnamon slots into the nooks and crannies of a crisp Danish pastry.
The streets of Copenhagen ooze with class, from the flawless fronts of colourful houses in Nyhavn to the well-oiled kitchens of world-renowned restaurants, but this city also has an edge, with ever-evolving neighborhoods like Vesterbro and the Meatpacking District bringing cutting-edge coffee shops and forward-thinking art spaces to the fore.
Other cities like Aarhus and Odense are equally full of charm and creative spirit, but you’d be remiss to explore Denmark without getting out into the country. Get lost in the magical depths of Rold Forest or trace never-ending beaches along the west coast. Or you can go island hopping in the Wadden Sea, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It also makes for a perfect starting point if you’re planning a bigger trip across the whole of Scandinavia. Hop across from Copenhagen to Malmo and work your way up Sweden and into Norway for the adventure of a lifetime.
